Tax Refund is very helpful for taxpayers in America because it is the reimbursement of their overpaid tax. But this year will be less according to Internal Revenue Service.
IRS Data Suggest Up To $27 Billion Tax Refund Will Be Distributed To The Americans
According to the latest IRS data of April 14, there are $215.36 billion issued in tax refunds this year while in last year April 2022, they issued $242.63 billion. The average amount of last year’s refund was $3,103 down to $2,840 in the present.
So as you can see, the average today is much lesser than in the previous year. Americans now are receiving smaller amounts of tax refunds because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The cost of living in the past few years is increasing and many people lost their jobs because of the pandemic. At present, the inflation rate is still increasing according to some data.
How To Make Money From Assets
Most rich people are gaining money from their assets like stocks and real estate. When their assets increase in value, their net worth also increases. Some assets also produce work for other people, that’s why they are not only benefited but also other people who needed a job to have money.
The investors only pay their taxes if they realized their gains. For example, Jeff Bezos the founder of ProPublica, Amazon.com Inc., Elon Musk CEO of Tesla Inc, and George Soros, these three investors did not pay their taxes for many years.
